STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1956
Ah’m Confused
Iwuzacomin’ thru Albany sight seein’ one
night when I seed a bunch of peepul crowd-
in’ round the door of this venerable lookin’
buildin’ called Stait College for Teachurs.
Well sir, I thot maebe some body was get-
tin’ trampled upon so I ups to this feller
and I sez Friend what goes on hyar? And
he gives me a funny look and he sez, “Whah
its State Fair.” I looked around and ah
couldn’t for the life of me see any of them
stalls you know wher they put all the live-
stock and couldn’t smell the usual things
associated with an affair of this hyer type.
You know usually there’s tractor drivin’,
potato pickin’ and hoein’ contests at any
State Fair ah've been to, Well frens, I
couldn't go back so ah got picked up front prosperous |
with a hull raft of peepul and we went into
this big barn. I remarks to one feller about
what a place this would make to store hay
and he gives me one of those looks and
sez—Mister—This is Page Hall and the
show yer about to see is bein’ put on by the
faculty. So I set down expectin’ to hear
readins from Shakespeer er somethin’ like
that. When all ov a suddent these tea-
churs come a prancin’ out and I don’t know
whut-all, Well—I pokes this guy in the ribs
-—-Whuts them teachurs tryin’ ta
z they're raisin’ money to get a
foreign stoodent hyar. Weil I sez this seems
like a no-account way to do it. I mean you'd
think those teachurs could pay fer it out
of ther salaries ‘sted of panhandlin’ on the
stage. Well, I got up and wandered
aroun’ lookin’ fer a midway when this little
filly comes up and sez—how about a dance
Well frens, I tole her ‘bout the only dancin’
I done was behind a plow and I didn't
opine to start in. After goin’ ‘round to these
little sideshows fer about an hour or two
I left. To this day I cain't figger out these
Teachurs Trainin’ institushuns, Them stoo-
dents was a jumpin’ and a hollerin’ and I
don't know whut-all,
This guy sez to me its a question of mind
over matter and I sez—fren, your right,
they don't have no minds and it don't seem
seem to matter (Well whut do you want
fer a nickel??)

Cooperation...
Last weekend a concrete demonstration was given of
the cooperation which can exist between the students and
the faculty, Organizations put all their energy behind the
foreiqn student benefit,
Lust semester might have been symbolized in many
students’ minds by apathy, but State Fair helps to prove
that vwonditions are changing for the better. We wish to
oxprous the thanks of the student body to Marilyn DeSanta,
Genevinl Chatman of the event and her committees who
mado the Malr a success,
A Solution? ...
I) the editorial column three weeks ago the sad condi-
tlon of the Association of Men’s Intramural Athletics was
preseitad, A part of their trouble seemed to stem from
the fact they had no itemized bills to accompany their
pouonols which they submitted to Student Board of
Mana,
Thin fuult reflects the inadequacies of both of these
student groups, Student Board of Finance took action this
week to remedy the situation by recommending that all
requcaln for money be accompanied by bills. These bills
will only be uecopted from the retailer to whom the money
Is to te pald,
Student Board of Finance also proposed that they keep
W more rigid wateh over all line spending. In the past, or-
Hantwitlons have been able to overdraw lines and then
uppeal to Student Association to pay the bill. Some organi-
ations ure also given lump sums for conference lines and
ho itemized expense accounts have been demanded.
Now Student Board of Finance has set up a system to
correct these Inetiiciencies, What now remains is the en-
forceriont of these rules, The easy part is finished...

To the Editor:
Last weekend marked one of the
most satisfying events that takes
place at State—our college—giving
a boost to foreign students by way
of State Fair.
The event was most successful,
not because of any one committee
or any one organization, but be-
cause of 40 groups organizing and
working to present a series of con-
cessions. It was successful because
the faculty and administration
backed it 100%—it was successful
because State College students turn-
ed out in full force to enjoy them-
selves for an evening.
To the faculty, to my committee
in particular, and to the whole stu-
dent body I extend my thanks.
Marilyn DeSanta '57.
To the Editor:
Our highest judicial and legisla-
tive bodies have seen fit to adopt a
time-worn, yet worthy policy in the
execution of lively student govern-
ment—a man has the right to speak
his own mind.
‘This policy is, indeed, element.
to government such as we have at
State. I, along with many cthers,
feel that this declaration of policy
is to be commended.
Seeing that an institution lacks 1
this quality of open mind in public
meetings, must we, therefore, accept
and agree with any efforts made
upon the part of others who possess
the strength and conviction to s}
forth the multipurpose — thoughts
that lurk in their minds? Quite
often the thoughts are short, not
out of necessity, but lack of re-
sources, Then gain, the thoughts a.
of great length, or power, not due
to the richness of resource, but ow-
ing lo a dependence upon personal
accusations—the penny candy of
student government,
An ounce of air-filled accusation
is worth a pound of constructive
cure Kes anblies like those
of yore; i ssembly seats with
a clamoring audience expected to
legislate; it allows personalities to
become the judges of our law; it
blocks the way of cures and ideas
for our legislative ills.
1, alony with others feel that
everyone has the freedom to speak
his own mind and contest the ideas
of others. That arm of freedom ends
where the other person's nose be-
gins, I was alarmed to see our high-
est judicial body let this arm go so
far as to go down the other fel-
low's throat. Accept the ideas and
not the trash!
The assemblies of yesteryear vre
long since dead, Let's leave them
where they lie. It’s a new generation
with problems of a different nature
If we are to provide a stream-
lined government for ourselves, it
is necessary Lo insure every con-
structive thinker against a recur-
rence of the untimely, inappropriate,
ridiculous situation that occurred in
assembly this past week,
Sincerely,

Administration Have Collaborated
to Issue a Decree,” opposes the
semester hour penalty for unattend-
ed compulsory assemblies with a
logic so devoid of reason as to
make the valid segments of their
argument totally beclouded.
In past years myself and other
students at this college have oppos-
ed compulsory assemblies openly;
am not at odds with the SDA news:
paper on this issue; I do, however,
object to the hysterical ranting of
the authors of “Student Appeal.”
‘The statements made in the above-
mentioned issue, were apparently
calculated negative and destructive.
The purported aim of “Student
Appeal” is, as stated in their ban-
ner, “to arouse some interest in
and lead to critical examination of
the inter-relationships among the
students and their governing and
administrative agencies.” If this is
their aim, they have fallen much
‘elow their mark; they have aimed
their paper at specious reasoning
and effete hysteria,
A point of interest is that ¢
though “Student Appeal" is the of-
ficlal SDA newspaper, the newspaper
of a politically oriented group, con-
tinual reference is made to The So-
clety of Critical Thought, SOCT,
a supposedly non-political organ-
ization of clear thinking. The
fillation of these two organizations
which, seemingly are ideologically
opposed, would seem to indicate that
neither organization is being run in
line with its purposes, but rather
in line with the immediate gripes
of its leadership.
There are many constructive w
in which a group can oppose a
dent or faculty act, Even changes
in the manner of expression of
ideas in “Student Appeal” could
greatly increase the interest aroused
and the support gained. When SDA
achieves a more mature, democrat-
ically motivated and clear thinking
leadership they shall realize the
truth which they so failingly up-
hold,

South East Asia
Crisis Threatens
Treaty Organization's Existence
By FRANK SWISKEY
The South East Asia Treaty Or-
ganization has found two new chinks
in its armor. The chinks apeared in
the wake of anti-communist war
games recently completed in the vi-
cinity of Bangkok, Thailand.
The first is the instability of the
Indochinese kingdom of Laos. A full
scale civil war appears imminent
through the efforts of Viet Nam agi-
tators couvled with supplies of arms
obtained from Communist China
The nd chink is the one that
appears in neighboring ‘Cambodia
The Premier of that country, Prince
Nerodom Sihanouk, who is currently
in Peking, has announced that his
country will pull out from the pro-
tection of SEATO, Although neither
Camtodia or Laos are full-fledged
members of SEATO, they constitute
1 vital link in the anti-communist
tefense chain in the Near East
In the case of Laos the threat of
civil war has grown wor .
ing the failure of the Ro:
ernment and Communist
Pathet Lao movement to
Gifferences at three separate con-
ferences. The Pathet Lao dissidents
want control of the government.
They have a powerful bargaining
lever in that they control two of
Laos’ northern provinces, The Roy-
alists argue that they were given
control of the government by a de
cision at the Geneva Conference
